Hi, Unfortunately I dint check SHOW PROCESSLIST as I was overwhelmed with the state of the server and had to bring back the old version online, but the reverse DNS lookups could be the reason, but surprisingly it was infact serving some client requests , also is there a way to stop mysql from doing reverse DNS lookups ..
